Third-party reviews

What we like about Cecotec Coffee 56 Time

  • At 1.21 kg, it is light to lift and move.
  • The 1.3 L tank makes up to 12 cups.
  • The warming plate keeps the pot warm.
  • The timer lets you set brewing in advance.
  • The stainless steel body suits a modern kitchen.
  • At 17 cm deep, it does not stick out far from a wall.

What we don't like about Cecotec Coffee 56 Time

  • There is no removable water tank, so you fill it in place.
  • There is no automatic cleaning.
  • There is no cleaning reminder.
  • Its parts cannot go in the dishwasher.
  • There is no thermal insulated carafe, so coffee relies on the warming plate.

Verdict

Light at 1.21 kg, the Cecotec Coffee 56 Time is easy to lift and move around the kitchen. Its 1.3 L tank is its biggest strength, and it makes up to 12 cups. A warming plate keeps the pot warm, and the timer lets you set it ahead. The body is stainless steel and the base is non-slip. Depth is 17 cm, so it does not stick out far from a wall. The trade-off is that there is no removable tank and no automatic cleaning, so you do the upkeep yourself. It has one carafe and one heating element, so the design stays simple. The water level indicator shows how much water is left. It suits a household that makes one large pot at a time and wants a compact machine.
